This episode describes the journey from the airport to the hotel, and gives you the vocabulary you may need for taking the underground. 
Please also use this for pronunciation.

Now that I’ve gone through customs and found my way out, I have to find transport. I go past the welcoming committee of people thronging to greet their loved ones, and look for signs that show bus, car, or train. 

I decide to take the train or underground railway. It’s called the Metro, the Underground, or the Tube in most countries. I have to ask about the best ticket for my journeys around the city, so I go to the ticket counter to get help. Once I know what I want, I can just use my debit or credit card and go to the self-service kiosk. 

I buy my ticket, and pass through the ticket barriers to go down the escalators to the floors below. I keep reading the boards to see if I’m going in the right direction.  It’s a long walk, and I sometimes have to carry my suitcase down the stairs. I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t just have taken a taxi. 

Some people offer to help, and, because it’s so heavy and no one could just run away with my luggage, I agree gratefully. 

The Tube is crowded, but I manage to find a seat. I listen carefully for my stop, and hop onto the platform. 

Once I’m out of the Tube station, I see my hotel across the road, so I go through the entranceway into the lobby. At least this hotel doesn’t have revolving doors, because it’s really awkward to manage that when you have baggage. 

I go straight across the lobby to the clerk at the reception desk. I tell them I have booked a room and tell them my name. They ask me for my passport or other identity document. I give it to them. I go to my room and the valet brings my luggage. I give him or her a tip.

I unpack my bag into the cupboards and drawers. I take a shower with the freshly laid out towels. I am now ready for my exploration in the town.

Please feel free to book a lesson with me. #knowmyteacher #pronunciation

🍽️ Diálogo: Probando un plato extraño 🌶️🐙

Carlos: Bueno, aquí estamos… listos para probar algo nuevo.

Ana: Sí, pero… ¿estás seguro de que esto es comestible? Se ve un poco extraño.

Carlos: ¡Claro! Es un plato típico de este país. Se llama takoyaki, son bolitas de pulpo con salsa.

Ana: Hmm… nunca he comido pulpo antes.

Carlos: Pues hoy es el día. ¡Vamos, pruébalo!

Ana: (Da un mordisco) ¡Uy! Está más suave de lo que pensaba.

Carlos: Sí, la textura es algo chiclosa, pero el sabor es bueno.

Ana: Me gusta la salsa… es un poco dulce y salada al mismo tiempo.

Carlos: Y esas hojuelas encima se están moviendo. ¡Parece que tienen vida!

Ana: ¡No digas eso! Son hojuelas de bonito, pero sí, parece que bailan por el calor.

Carlos: ¿Qué te parece el pulpo en sí?

Ana: Sorprendentemente, sabe bien. Es tierno y tiene un ligero sabor a mar.

Carlos: Sí, pero lo mejor es la combinación con la masa crujiente por fuera.

Ana: Definitivamente. Aunque creo que está un poco picante, ¿o soy yo?

Carlos: No, tienes razón. La salsa tiene un toque de jengibre y pimienta.

Ana: Me gusta más de lo que esperaba. No pensé que comería pulpo algún día.

Carlos: ¡Ya ves! Probar cosas nuevas siempre es una buena idea.

Ana: Ahora me pregunto… ¿qué otro plato raro podemos probar?

Carlos: He oído que aquí tienen helado de ajo… ¿te animas?

Ana: ¡Eso sí suena demasiado raro! Pero… ¿por qué no?

Alright, let’s get to the nitty-gritty—who likes studying grammar rules first? Or diving headfirst into vocabulary drills when you’d rather be chatting away in full sentences? Yes, I hear you. But what if I told you that deliberately choosing to study in ways you don’t like could actually skyrocket your learning? Yes, you heard that right. Let’s dig into this, shall we?

Instead of saying “I hate this method of studying. It’s so difficult, boring or whatever negative word that comes to mind”, say instead and normalize the inner dialogue within you to gradually be “I am open to a different study technique once in a while.”
